How to use Substr

[DerPflug]

I have a string class variable that I want to check for a certain character:

string Date("08/02/2003"

How do I determine that the 3rd character in the string is a "/" using the substr method?

Also, how do you use c_str?

Thanks in advance.

substr is used to obtain a copy of a portion of a string not to compare a single character to a value. To perform your compare:

	string s("08/20/2003");
	cout << (s[2] == '/') << endl;
	cout << s.c_str() << endl;
	exit(0);
